It has since been revealed that the incident occurred due to Princess Charlotte’s bridesmaid dress, which Kate was allegedly unhappy with. In Harry’s new memoir, Spare, which was released on Tuesday, the Duke of Sussex shared more about the incident, revealing the messages that caused Meghan’s sadness.
In one extract, Harry claims that Kate wrote to Meghan: “Charlotte’s dress is too big, too long, too baggy. She cried when she tried it on at home.”
In response, Meghan is alleged to have written: “Right, and I told you the tailor has been standing by since 8am. Here. At KP. Can you take Charlotte to have it altered, as the other mums are doing?”
However, Kate is said to have disagreed with this, and replied “all the dresses need to be remade” adding that her own wedding planner agreed with her on the matter.
In an attempt to calm the situation down, Meghan asked the royal if she was aware of the situation that was going on with her father, Thomas Markle, at the time, to which Kate responded that she was.
Harry claimed that the final interactions between the pair saw Meghan say: “I’m not sure what else to say. If the dress doesn’t fit then please take Charlotte to see Ajay. He’s been waiting all day,” with Kate only responding with: “Fine.”
Harry also revealed that it wasn’t just the wedding dresses that Kate allegedly had issues with, and that she was also unhappy over a potential party for the page boys.
“It just went back and forth,” he noted in the memoir.
